Unchecked items showing up blank in playlists
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:14:26 UTC
Songs unchecked in iTunes show up as blank, unclickable spaces in playlists, even when present in the scanned library via browsing. I have "don't ignore unchecked songs" selected. I'm using itunes 4.9 and encountered this both in slimserver 6.1.1 amd 6.1.2.
iTunes playlists should probably ignore missing or unchecked files (unlike the recent changes to the file-based playlist parsing) since iTunes playlists are self-contained within the XML file and will get rescanned if the xml file changes.
looks like this qould require an extra db lookup for every playlist item. not an inexpensive thing. of course, we might have to anyway, since I notice that the code seems to be pushing the iTunes track number into the playlist and simply assuming that this number is the same as the slimserver track id (which is incorrect). This does somehow get magically sorted out when browsing playlists, but initially they seem to appear blank. Might be a partial cause of the blank iTuens playlist bug (bug 1278)
This works properly in 6.2 - IE: Songs show up in the playlists if the pref is set to "don't ignore", and they don't show up if the pref is the other way. Fixed in subversion change 3912.
